liftsifter Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 April 1985 In 1840 My Father's Great Great Grandfather founded the James Family Farm on a 300 acre property. In 1905 the family decided to close the farm due to low demand and open a large plaza. The small plaza soon grew into a medium sized amusement park in 1976! This is the story of James Family Farm and Amusement Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A.B Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 To be honest this is one of your first parks that I have been interested in. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liftsifter Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 May 1985 It's finally opening day of our ninth season of operations. My name is Tim James, and I am the park manager of James Family Farm. A view of the original plaza. Our famous freshly squeezed lemonade! Barnstormer takes you up 40ft. and swings you in bi-plane style cars. Twister, a PTC coaster added in 1981, lives up to it's name! Sky Wheel was added in 1980 and is currently down for maintenance. Olive Tree was added due to the high traffic of small children and families. This Ice Cream parlor was a part of the original plaza and was renovated to add a beautiful sitting area in back. Scrambler was added in 1976 and has been a favorite of many guests due to the fast launch! Tidal-Wave is a prototype ride added in 1980 and is a ride that many teen guests like to brace. Whirling is also a prototype ride added in 1980, not many guests choose to embrace this ride, but the ones that have love it! Looks like a bit of construction is going on, is it for good or bad? Have a great day! Tim James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6flagsbrad Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 My only complaint is that the name for the shuttle-loop doesn't seem to fit the ride. Otherwise, very nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Of Spades Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Am I the only one who noticed something oddly familiar about the wood coaster? Take a very close look at the layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liftsifter Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 August 1985 It's been a quick and busy season, and it's time for is to start preparation for our 10th season! Wow! This looks interesting! This sign is seen many times around the park. The west was never THIS wild! Join us in 1986! What could be happening here? The outdoor seating area at the ice cream parlor is closed during construction. MORE construction?! I like! Yellow beams, what could these be for? Tidal Wave is looking good with it's new paint coat, and logo! So is Crazy Planes! I'll see you for our announcement on September 2, 1985!

tiger01 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I like the location of mine swing however on the lift hill and brake run you need catwalks. This is a great addition to the park aswell! Just right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I like the location of mine swing, however, on the lift hill and brake run you might consider installing some catwalks. This is a great addition to the park as well! Just right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
